Chapter 893: 587

"Okay." Mu Lin nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and after a short while, the sound of her steady breathing had already reached Jing Chen’s ears.

The solemn corners of his mouth slowly curved into a gentle smile. If possible, he truly wished to keep watching like this forever. Just watching her, he’d never grow tired in this lifetime.

About ten minutes later, Jing Chen stood up, adjusted Mu Lin’s blanket, and planted another kiss on her forehead before turning to leave the room.

Downstairs, upon seeing Jing Chen, several people couldn’t help but ask, "How is Linlin?" They had never seen Mu Lin like this before, not even when she was treating Old Master Jing; she hadn’t looked this wan and exhausted.

Seeing Mu Lin’s pallor earlier had truly frightened them.

The elder felt somewhat regretful, thinking perhaps he shouldn’t have sought out Mu Lin so urgently. His consideration had been insufficient.

He hadn’t expected that Mu Lin’s way of saving people would be such that she’d end up looking so... heartbreakingly frail.

Thankfully, she was just tired; otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to face the heavy responsibility entrusted to the Jing family.

Jing Chen looked at Gong Muxue, "Mom, I think Linlin probably won’t be able to wake up tonight. Please look after Xiaoxiao and Nuonuo for me, and keep an eye on Linlin as well." Although he was somewhat uneasy, he had duties to attend to and wouldn’t be free these few days.

"Don’t worry." Gong Muxue patted Jing Chen’s shoulder in a comforting manner, "I will take good care of Linlin."

"Ruirui will also take good care of mom and the younger siblings," Gong Rui assured them, her little head held high.

Patting her little head with his large hand, Jing Chen gave her a faint smile, "Then I’ll count on Ruirui." Initially, Jing Chen hadn’t been too emotionally attached to Gong Rui, but she was the child Mu Lin recognized; however, after some time, he had truly accepted her.

Gong Rui was indeed the kind of child that made one unable to resist feeling compassion and tenderness.

Feeling honored by her father’s request, Gong Rui was a little excited.

Like Mu Lin, Jing Chen was also a godlike figure in Gong Rui’s heart.

A little while later, with Song Qi’s assistance, they settled Ebel, and then Bashir came downstairs and immediately asked Jing Chen, "Is Divine Doctor Mu fine?"

Just now...

Jing Chen shook his head, "She was too tired, so she fell asleep."

"That’s good." He let out a breath of relief subconsciously; as long as she was alright. Mu Lin had actually given him quite a scare earlier.

His gaze shifted toward the elder, "For this matter with my son, I truly appreciate your help."

"Don’t worry, we will take good care of him," the Old Master Jing nodded at him.

"Either way, please extend my gratitude to her again." He paused, and after a moment added, "If Divine Doctor Mu ever needs my help in the future, I will not refuse, no matter what." This was his way of expressing gratitude to Mu Lin.

Bashir hadn’t expected that even though it would hurt her, Mu Lin still intervened; in fact, even if she had refused, they wouldn’t have done anything, and they definitely wouldn’t trouble her over it.

But she had helped them regardless.

Bashir’s promise surprised and bewildered everyone; they hadn’t expected him to say such a thing.

After a few more casual exchanges, Bashir was escorted back to the guest quarters by Jing Chen, and the elder returned to his own place.

As for Gena, of course, he stayed in Ebel’s room, continuing to take care of him.

Once the significant figures had left, the Jing family finally let out a sigh of relief.

Although they were all amiable, their stature and aura were undeniable. Except for the two elders, everyone still felt the pressure; it was not something they could bear at this time.

The next day, Mu Lin slept until she naturally woke up. When she came downstairs, the Jing family members were already waiting for her.

"Linlin is up. Come down for breakfast," Gong Muxue called out to Mu Lin when she saw her, waving her over. By now, the Jing household was much different from when Mu Lin had first arrived, having become much livelier.

Mu Lin nodded and, as if she remembered something, said to everyone below, "You all start without me; I’m going to check if Ebel has woken up." By this time, he should have.

Mu Lin entered the room where Gena, already awake, sat quietly at Ebel’s bedside. Hearing movement behind him, he stood up reflexively. Seeing Mu Lin, his defensive expression faded, "Divine Doctor Mu."

Mu Lin gave him a light nod, "Has Ebel woken up?" Her gaze inadvertently fell on Ebel’s peaceful sleeping face.

Ebel was, indeed, both exquisite and beautiful; that face must surely attract a lot of affection.

"Not yet," replied Gena, shaking his head. However, the next moment, the boy on the bed stirred slightly and then slowly opened his sleepy eyes, yawning before slowly sitting up. Looking around with a baffled look in his eyes, he wondered, Where is this?

"Awake?" A cool voice laced with a hint of amusement reached Ebel’s ears, sounding somewhat familiar. Coming to his senses, he reflexively looked towards Mu Lin, "Sister." Seeing Mu Lin, joy flooded his eyes.

Watching him, Mu Lin suddenly reached out her hand, "Come on, I’ll take you downstairs to eat."

"Okay." Ebel nodded, threw back the covers, and prepared to get out of bed, but the next moment he hesitated, turning to Gena, "Gena, the wheelchair." This was the first time he called Gena by name, and Gena instinctively obeyed.

However, the next moment, Mu Lin stopped him.

"No need." Her cool voice was soft. Mu Lin looked at Ebel, "Stand up and give it a try."
